β¨οΈRitualβ¨οΈ
βOn December 21st, take a moment to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the coming year. Write them down on a small piece of paper, if desired.
β Place the cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and crystal into the stocking or cloth bag. As you do, visualize the energies of warmth, protection, and clarity infusing your intentions.
βAdd any additional herbs or items that resonate with your intentions.
βTie the stocking closed and hold it in your hands. Take a few deep breaths, focusing on your intentions and the energies of the solstice.
β At sunset, light a small fire in your cauldron or fireproof bowl. As the flames rise, say:
"As the sun returns, I release what's past,
And welcome the light that will forever last.
May my intentions grow like the days,
Filled with warmth, love, and guiding rays."
6. Gently place the contents of the stocking into the fire, allowing the flames to consume the items. As they burn, visualize your inentions being released into the universe.
β As the ashes cool, take a moment to reflect on the new beginnings and possibilities ahead.
